Atypical Manifestations

Salmonella typhiusually produces enteric fever and gastroenteritis. The infection may spread through blood stream and present as local suppurative lesions which may involve any site including the bone and joints. We report a case of septic arthritis of hip in a patient with systemic lupus erthematosis. The case is presented for its rarity and to highlight the atypical manifestations ofSalmonella typhiin endemic regions.

Typhoid fever is an endemic infection in developing countries like India. Oral manifestations of enteric fever and typhoid tonsillitis have rarely been reported in the literature.   We report a 20 year old male, showing tonsillitis to be an integral part of clinical presentation of typhoid fever.The patient presented with fever, throat pain and oral ulcers. Blood culture and swab from tonsils showed significant growth of Salmonella typhi.This case report adds light to tonsillitis as a rare clinical manifestation of typhoid fever.

Enteric fever involves reticuloendothelial system. Most common complications are intestinal perforation, hepatitis, encephalopathy and bleeding ileal ulcers. Apart from known complications we present an interesting case of middle aged female with uncontrolled diabetes presenting with empyema of gall bladder secondary to Salmonella typhi. Both blood and gallbladder tissue bacteriological cultures had Salmonella typhi confirming our diagnosis. It was noteworthy that empyema was found intraoperatively. Patient recovered after cholecystectomy and antibiotics. Considering this rare complication we advise Typhoid conjugate vaccine in tropical countries. This case report paves way to recognize this complication to watch for. Key words: Enteric fever, Empyema, complications, Typhoid vaccine, gall bladder.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Enteric fever is the most common cause of community acquired blood stream infections in under developed and developing countries. The enteric fever is exclusive to humans and transmitted through the faeco-oral route. Though India is an endemic zone for enteric fever, the data is very scarce from Central India. The present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of enteric fever in this region and to know the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolated typhoidal Salmonellae. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We conducted a retrospective analysis of blood culture positive cases of enteric fever over a period of two years (December 2015 to December 2017). All blood cultures submitted for suspected enteric fever and associated symptoms were included in the study. Relevant demographic, clinical and laboratory data were analyzed. RESULT: A total of 51 cases (3.56%) were of typhoidal Salmonella from a total of 1430 blood culture submission. Salmonella Typhi were 70.5% while Salmonella Paratyphi A were 29.5% of the total isolated Salmonellae. The most vulnerable age group was 10-19years (41.2%). The mean minimum inhibitory concentration of ciprofloxacin for Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A are 1.20 and 1.97 μg/ml respectively. All the isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone. Highest isolation was in the July – September quarter (35.3%). CONCLUSION: There is a high prevalence of the disease which needs urgent focus on safe water, sanitation services and also to establish guidelines for empiric therapy for enteric fever.
